- Another end of the transistor connection portion 71 is coupled through a contact hole 62 formed in the first gate insulating layer 141, in the second gate insulating layer 142, and in the interlayer insulating layer 160, to the light emission control source electrode 176f. Accordingly, the storage capacitor Cst extends to overlap the transistor connection portion 71, and the driving semiconductor layer 131a extends to overlap the transistor connection portion 71.
- the storage capacitor Cst may be further extended.
- the driving semiconductor layer 131a is not directly coupled to the compensation source electrode 176c at the bent portion 33.
- a branched portion 34 is directly branched from the compensation source electrode 176c at the bent portion 33.
- FIG. 8 is an enlarged layout view of a driving thin film transistor of an organic light emitting diode display according to the fourth example embodiment.
- the fourth example embodiment is substantially the same as the first example embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 5 , with the exception of the driving semiconductor layer and the storage capacitor, and thus, repeated description of the substantially similar features will be omitted.
- the driving thin film transistor T1 of the organic light emitting diode display includes the driving semiconductor layer 131a, the driving gate electrode 125a, the driving source electrode 176a, and the driving drain electrode 177a.
- the driving semiconductor layer 131a is bent, and includes the first extension portion 31 extending in a first direction, the second extension portion 32 extending in a second direction that is different from the first direction, the bent portion 33 coupling the first extension portion 31 and the second extension portion 32, and the branched portion 34 directly branched to the compensation source electrode 176c at the bent portion 33.
- the entire driving semiconductor layer 131a has a ' ⁇ ' form (e.g., a vertical line having a horizontal line extending from near a center of the vertical line). Accordingly, since the length of the driving semiconductor layer 131a is increased, the driving range of the gate voltage applied to the driving gate electrode 125a may be broadened.
- the branched portion 34 corresponds to a first path semiconductor layer CH1 coupled to the compensation thin film transistor T3, and the second extension portion 32 corresponds to a second path semiconductor layer CH2 coupled to the light emission control thin film transistor T6.
- the driving gate electrode 125a that is, the first storage capacitor plate 125h, overlaps the first path semiconductor layer CH1 and the second path semiconductor layer CH2 of the driving semiconductor layer 131a, and the second storage capacitor plate 127 overlaps the first storage capacitor plate 125h. Accordingly, since the area of the storage capacitor Cst is increased, sufficient storage capacitance can be attained even at a high resolution.
- the lengths of the first path semiconductor layer CH1 and the second path semiconductor layer CH2 are substantially the same as each other.
- the lengths of the first path semiconductor layer CH1 and the second path semiconductor layer CH2 are different from each other.
- FIG. 9 is an enlarged layout view of a driving thin film transistor of an organic light emitting diode display according to the fifth example embodiment, which is substantially the same as the fourth example embodiment shown in FIG. 8 , with the exception of the driving semiconductor layer and the storage capacitor, and thus a repeated description of the similarities will be omitted.
- the driving thin film transistor T1 of the organic light emitting diode display includes the driving semiconductor layer 131a, the driving gate electrode 125a, the driving source electrode 176a, and the driving drain electrode 177a.
- the driving semiconductor layer 131a is bent.
- the driving semiconductor layer 131a includes the first extension portion 31 extending in a first direction, the second extension portion 32 extending in a second direction that is different from the first direction, the bent portion 33 coupling the first extension portion 31 and the second extension portion 32, and the branched portion 34 directly branched from the compensation source electrode 176c at the bent portion 33. Accordingly, since the length of the driving semiconductor layer 131a is increased, the driving range of the gate voltage applied to the driving gate electrode 125a may be broadened.
- the branched portion 34 corresponds to the first path semiconductor layer CH1 coupled to the compensation thin film transistor T3, and a zigzag portion 30, which includes the first extension portion 31, the second extension portion 32, and the bent portion 33, corresponds to the second path semiconductor layer CH2 coupled to the light emission control thin film transistor T6.
- the driving gate electrode 125a that is, the first storage capacitor plate 125h, overlaps the first path semiconductor layer CH1 and the second path semiconductor layer CH2 of the driving semiconductor layer 131a
- the second storage capacitor plate 127 overlaps the first storage capacitor plate 125h. Accordingly, since the area of the storage capacitor Cst is increased, sufficient storage capacitance can be ensured even at a high resolution.
- the length of the first path semiconductor layer CH1 is smaller than the length of the second path semiconductor layer CH2.
- This structure is called a short pass diode structure, and since the length of the first path semiconductor layer CH1 is different from the length of the second path semiconductor layer CH2, currents having different magnitudes may concurrently (e.g., simultaneously) flow. Since the length of the first path semiconductor layer CH1 is relatively small, a relatively large current may flow therein, and since the length of the second path semiconductor layer CH2 is relatively large, relatively small currents may flow therein (e.g., at a same time as the relatively large current in the first path semiconductor layer CH1).
- a constant current may be provided to the organic light emitting diode while a threshold voltage is rapidly compensated by using a characteristic of concurrently (e.g., simultaneously) providing currents having different magnitudes by one driving thin film transistor to reduce a current variation between the driving thin film transistors having different characteristics, thus preventing stains caused by a difference between magnitudes of the currents, and the driving operation thereof will be described in detail below.
- the driving thin film transistor T1 charges the voltage corresponding to the data signal Dm in the storage capacitor Cst according to the scan signal Sn, and provides the current corresponding to the voltage charged in the storage capacitor Cst to the OLED. Because the threshold voltage Vth of the driving thin film transistor T1 may be changed over time, the compensation thin film transistor T3 performs diode-connection of the driving thin film transistor T1 according to the scan signal Sn to compensate the threshold voltage Vth of the driving thin film transistor T1.
- the relatively large current flowing through the first path semiconductor layer CH1 while the data signal Dm is transferred can rapidly charge the storage capacitor Cst through the compensation thin film transistor T3 (e.g., to a predetermined voltage/compensation voltage), the compensation of the threshold voltage Vth may be relatively rapidly and easily performed.
- the relatively small current flowing through the second path semiconductor layer CH2 is provided through the light emission control thin film transistor T6 to the OLED, stains may be avoided or prevented. That is, since a change in current according to a change in voltage applied to the driving gate electrode 125a of the driving thin film transistor T1 is small, a current control voltage width (data swing range) can be increased, such that the range of the data voltage displaying a gamma can be increased, and it is possible to avoid or prevent stains caused by a difference between magnitudes of the currents by reducing a current variation between the driving thin film transistors having different characteristics (e.g., distribution characteristics).
- a known driving thin film transistor can allow only a current of one magnitude to flow through the driving semiconductor layer 131a, currents having the same magnitude are provided to the compensation thin film transistor T3 and the light emission control thin film transistor T6. Accordingly, when the length of the driving semiconductor layer 131a of the driving thin film transistor T1 is relatively small, so that the threshold voltage Vth of the driving thin film transistor T1 is rapidly compensated, because an s-factor of a transistor characteristic curve (transfer curve) is reduced, thereby increasing a ratio (e.g., change ratio) of a change in current to a change in voltage applied to the driving gate electrode, thereby causing a relatively large current to be provided to the OLED, potentially causing stains.
- a ratio e.g., change ratio

- one pixel of the organic light emitting diode display includes a plurality of signal lines 121, 122, 123, 124, 128, 171, and 172, and a plurality of thin film transistors T1, T2, T3, T4, T5, T6, and T7, the storage capacitor Cst, and the OLED coupled to a plurality of signal lines.
- the plurality of thin film transistors includes the driving thin film transistor T1, the switching thin film transistor T2, the compensation thin film transistor T3, the initialization thin film transistor T4, the operation control thin film transistor T5, the light emission control thin film transistor T6, and the current control thin film transistor T7.
- the signal line includes the scan line 121 for transferring the scan signal Sn, the prior scan line 122 for transferring the prior scan signal Sn-1 to the initialization thin film transistor T4, the light emission control line 123 for transferring the light emission control signal En to the operation control thin film transistor T5 and to the light emission control thin film transistor T6, the data line 171 crossing the scan line 121 and for transferring the data signal Dm, the driving voltage line 172, which is substantially parallel to the data line 171, for transferring the driving voltage ELVDD, the initialization voltage line 124 for transferring the initialization voltage Vint for initializing the driving thin film transistor T1, and a bypass control line 128 for transferring a bypass signal BP to a bypass thin film transistor T7.
- the gate electrode G1 of the driving thin film transistor T1 is coupled to an end (e.g., a first end) Cst1 of the storage capacitor Cst, the source electrode S1 of the driving thin film transistor T1 is coupled via the operation control thin film transistor T5 to the driving voltage line 172, the drain electrode D1 of the driving thin film transistor T1 is electrically coupled via the light emission control thin film transistor T6 to an anode of the OLED.

- a gate electrode G7 of the bypass thin film transistor T7 is coupled to the bypass control line 128, a source electrode S7 of the bypass thin film transistor T7 is coupled to the drain electrode D6 of the light emission control thin film transistor T6 and to the anode of the OLED, and a drain electrode D7 of the bypass thin film transistor T7 is coupled to the initialization voltage line 124 and to the source electrode S4 of the initialization thin film transistor T4.
- bypass thin film transistor T7 of the organic light emitting diode display according to the sixth example embodiment will be described.
- the bypass thin film transistor T7 receives the bypass signal BP from the bypass control line 128.
- the bypass signal BP is a voltage (e.g., a voltage of a predetermined level) at which the bypass thin film transistor T7 can be always turned off, and the bypass thin film transistor T7 recieves the voltage of a level sufficient to turn the transistor off to the gate electrode G7 to turn off the bypass transistor T7, and allow a portion of the driving current Id to flow as a bypass current Ibp through the bypass transistor T7.
- the bypass thin film transistor T7 of the organic light emitting diode display may disperse, or divert, a portion of the minimum current of the driving thin film transistor T1 as a bypass current Ibp to a current path other than the current path of the organic light emitting diode.
- the minimum current of the driving thin film transistor refers to a current when the gate-source voltage Vgs of the driving thin film transistor T1 is smaller than the threshold voltage Vth, thus turning off the driving thin film transistor.
- the minimum driving current (e.g., current of 10 pA or less) when the driving thin film transistor is turned off is transferred to the organic light emitting diode to be displayed as an image of black luminance.
- a bypass transferring effect of the bypass current Ibp is large, but when the large driving current for displaying an image (such as a general image or a white image) flows, an effect of the bypass current Ibp is hardly present. Accordingly, when the driving current displaying the black image flows, a light emitting current Ioled of the organic light emitting diode, which corresponds to the driving current Id reduced by the bypass current Ibp through the bypass thin film transistor T7, has the minimum required current at which the black image can be displayed.
- a contrast ratio may be improved by implementing a precise black luminance image by using the bypass thin film transistor T7.
- FIG. 11 is a layout view of the organic light emitting diode display according to the sixth example embodiment.
- the pixel of the organic light emitting diode display includes the scan line 121, the prior scan line 122, the light emission control line 123, the initialization voltage line 124, and the bypass control line 128 formed in a row direction for respectively applying the scan signal Sn, the prior scan signal Sn-1, the light emission control signal En, the initialization voltage Vint, and the bypass signal BP, and also includes the data line 171 and the driving voltage line 172 crossing the scan line 121, the prior scan line 122, the light emission control line 123, the initialization voltage line 124, and the bypass control line 128, and for respectively applying the data signal Dm and the driving voltage ELVDD to the pixel.

- the driving thin film transistor T1, the switching thin film transistor T2, the compensation thin film transistor T3, the initialization thin film transistor T4, the operation control thin film transistor T5, the light emission control thin film transistor T6, and the bypass thin film transistor T7 are formed along the semiconductor layer 131, which is bent to have various shapes.
- the semiconductor layer 131 may be formed of, for example, polysilicon, and includes a channel region not doped with an impurity, and a source region and a drain region formed at respective sides of the channel region and doped with an impurity.

Accordingly, the driving semiconductor layer 131a may be in a zigzag form.
- the driving semiconductor layer 131a shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 includes three first extension portions 31, two second extension portions 32, and four bent portions 33. Accordingly, the driving semiconductor layer 131a may be longitudinally in a ' ' form, or in a z form.
- the driving semiconductor layer 131a may be longitudinally formed in a narrow space by forming the driving semiconductor layer 131a including a plurality of bent portions 33. Accordingly, since the driving channel region 131a1 of the driving semiconductor layer 131a may be longitudinally formed, the driving range of the gate voltage applied to the driving gate electrode 125a is broadened. Therefore, since the driving range of the gate voltage is relatively broad, a gray level of light emitted from an OLED can be more finely, or precisely, controlled by changing or adjusting the magnitude of the gate voltage, and as a result, it is possible to increase a resolution of the organic light emitting diode display and to improve display quality.
